Accidently figured out how to do a full wipe without using recovery:
1. Switch off
2. Press Vol-up + Power
3. If display goes on: Release power but hold vol-up
3. Toggle Lockswitch (On->Off->On->Off)
Display shows:
Code:
Erasing Userdata..
Erasing Cache..
haha ,funny
How did you find that ACCIDENTALLY?
What did you do, press buttons at random as it was booting?
WOW!!, is all I can say here.. go for it, experiment away!!
haha. Who knows what kind of little tricks like that are available? I would have hated finding that by 'accident' and losing all my data.
such kind of thing how u can find by accident ?? really amazing... wonder what other trick is hidden

sc2k, thank you very much. it works for me. my acer is wipe and return to normal. But the step 2 s/b : press vol+, hold, then press power. see the youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTcBoSHqrPc
I guess this function is for people who forgot pin and without cwm recovery. However, Acer service does not disclose this to customers.
Have the same issue, occurred immediately after the OTA update, obviously the update did not flash completely or correctly.
Have used this process to get to the big green android guy, gears turning, then a processing bar appears below, then the dreaded yellow exclamation triangle appears. Nothing else happens. I'm very sad... any ideas?
UPDATE: The following has been tried twice...
Did get the process running, the "android gears" screen showed a thin yellow process bar that went through completely, but there was no indication of a wipe of "userdata" or cache". The machine rebooted and got through the ACER bootup, then the android bootup, and OS started up. But a new issue has developed. I'm getting the following error dialogs in the listed order all under the title "Sorry!" and am offered either "Force close" or "Report" as selections:
"The application Acer Sync (process com.acer.android.sync) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
"The application Exchange Services (process com.android.exchange) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
"The application Calendar Storage (process com.android.providers.calendar) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
"The application Clock (process com.android.deskclock) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
"The application Exchange Services (process com.android.exchange) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
"The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
"The application Launcher (process com.android.launcher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
"The application Google One Time Init (process com.android.onetimeinitializer) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
USBDeview recognizes when it's plugged in, and provides the serial number.
ADB will not seem to recognize, "adb devices" does not list, "adb bugreport" advises "error: device not found".
I have no ability to set to USB Debug Mode, can't get into any settings, can't turn on wifi...
Any help would be appreciated.
Brilliant! worked like a charm for me. thanx m8
how long do I wait
I got to the erasing userdata... and erasing Cache... screen but it has been stuck on that for over 30mins. Should it reboot or give me another indication that it is done?

OK, mate. First, are you able to run Acer recovery program? If yes, then flash Acer 1.141.07 recovery. Then check for system update manually and update should work fine. Please post your outcomes here to help you if it did not work.

1. Go to Settings, do a Factory Reset
2. Download the 3.1 Stock Version NON OTA that Vache posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1159443
3. Flash it using the Volume Down button + Power Method (even without CMW, it works for this Rom)
you should then be fine.

Edit: I just accidetnly erase it now.. i don't know what button just i pressed.. lol
Thanks
sc2k, Thanks again for getting my Iconica tab back up and running, can't thank you enough.
After several tries, got the vol+ flick the screen rotate lock twice to clear the userdata and the cache, and that waa the only thing needed. Obviously the OTA update corrupted something, but all I needed to fix was a good wipe.

What is the difference between this method and factory reset through reset button in privacy? cause that too deletes cache and user data!

Hi. I've just bought a i9000 s galaxy. I've installed kies and connected the phone, then suddenly a sorry message appeared "the application TwLauncher (process com.sec.android.app.twlauncher has stopped working unexpectedly. Please try again. dumpstate_app_201007121612...log has been saved. use *#9900# to copy out log. by pressing force close it appears again n again. I can't get to the homescreen... Any sollution? I've also tried to get in recovery i get this message "downloading... do not turn off target! Thx in advance
The first problem is nothing big, just Force Close it and it'd start up again. (twlauncher is the TouchWhiz shell) If not do a hard reset/Factory reset. I've had a few of them but its usually due to running out of ram, install a auto task killer. Or turn off KIES on the phone via Settings/About/USB/External drive . Sounds like you've flashed something/moved /data .
And the second problem is not a problem agian, No idea why you are putting the machine in Downloading Mode so early after getting your nice new toy and not taking time out to formilarize with it. But ANYHOO, If you want recovery mode its HOME/UP VOL/POWER . While Download Mode is HOME/DOWN VOL/POWER.
Seriously, take time out to play with the normal rom rather thing rushing in and flashing/rooting it as you won't know the basics to even know if you've screwed somethign up. Also you do KNOW that flashing/rooting VOIDS your warranty right?
P.S my phone is already flashed/rooted but I took alot of time out to learn the basics and read alot up about things before I rushed in.
...
thx for your help! meanwhile i've managed to solve the problem! twlauncher error appeared when i connected the phone to kies. By pressing force close it reapearred in every 2sec. What i've done ...was pressing the search button than settings and from there factory reset! the reason why i want to flash it is because i want it to be up to date .. no luck so far with odin... tried on 3 pcs X( BTW great PHONE!
im getting the force close message now, is factoy reset is the only way to fix it? if yes how can i keep my applications after the factory reset ! what application should i use to backup my apps.
Titanium backup / APKoptic
both are available in the market.
Hi there guys!
Yesterday I accidentally deleted an application system and android system isn´t working properly.
Today I flashed the verizon stock rom to see if that solves the problem (I've done before without any problem, first making a wipe data). But when the process is complete, the phone is stuck at bootscreen logo droid (not at M logo).
I rebooted the phone into recovery mode and did a wipe data. Now android starts, but I get the following two errors:
the process motorola.process.system has stopped unexpectedly. please try again.
the process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. please try again.
the process com.motorola.service.main has stopped unexpectedly. please try again.
Then the phone does nothing. I clicked on the Android but nothing happens. I´ve tried making wipe data lot of times but nothing happens. I´ve also tried to flash with 2.3.3 rom (I have 2.3.4) but nothing hapens too.
I can´t turn on debbuging usb mode because of this, so I can´t run a full wipe with ADB. Also, I don´t have any recovery mod or something like that.
Bootloader and stock recovery work both fine. So I think that this an exclusively software issue, but I don´t know how to resolve it.
There is any way to turn on the debbuging usb mode without using Android? Or there is any way to make a full wipe with ADB in this condition? Or what else could I try?
PD: Also tried to make an update of kernel and rom via SDcard, but I always get a signature error.
Nobody?
help me
me too!!
can anyone help us
SBF?

Sorry, didnt notice that you do not have recovery.
Ok, my Nexus 7 is stuck - not getting passed from Google boot screen.
Here is a bit of history..
I unlocked and installed Cyanogen 10.1 awhile back, and TWRP recovery. It's actually dual rom - I can't remember the name of the other ROM.
I haven't used it for a few months and today I charged the battery and used it. It was all good until I checked for update and found that there is Cyanogen 10.2.1. So I clicked download and install.
It downloaded, then rebooted. And when the system is up, I got the pop up saying Google Service is stopped unexpectedly. Some app icons I got on my home screen are still there, but there is no menu bar. There is no home button, no app drawer. So I rebooted, and the same google service error.
So I thought, maybe it's not compatible with 10.2. I rebooted into recovery mode and install 10.1 (the old rom zip file was still on the device) using TWRP. Only took a few seconds and then it says successful/done. To make sure, I also did wipe dalvik cache, then reboot.
Now the system only goes as far as Cyanogen loading screen. That's it. So I hold the power button for a few seconds, then when the device restart, pressed the volumn down button. Then I chose 'reboot recovery'.
It doesn't. It just hangs at Google screen. I tried a few times, the same. So trying to reboot into recovery hangs at google screen, and trying to reboot normally hangs at Cyanogen screen.
As a last attempt, I let the screen hangs on Cyanogen log, connected the device to my Mac, then tried "fastboot devices". Nothing.. empty.
But when I tried "adb devices", I get an entry something like this
Code:
List of devices attached
015d2bcxxxxxx unauthorized
Code:
./adb shell
error: device unauthorized. Please check the confirmation dialog on your device.
What should I do to get my tablet working again? I dont mind losing all data - I just want it working again. Someone please advice me..
Hello,
I have rooted vs98039a with stock rom only. No recovery. Some reason I downloaded Root Toolbox and accidentally hit fix permissions. Bad idea! All of a sudden i keep getting all these pop ups saying this and that has stopped and will not clear. I think all of my critical system apps have shut down and wont restart, thus, I am stuck after the verizon splash screen. Pop ups keep popping up. When i click okay on them another will pop up etc etc. There is no end. I have tried to do a factory reset by restarting my phone but it says critical error or something. PLEASE HELP ME! I'm afraid i killed it!
Power off the device.
Hold volume up and connect to pc.
It should be in download mode.
Then follow this thread-.

if I can get my phone back alive or just getting what I am storing in my phone at least

Bite the bullet, reboot to recovery and backup your data through ADB then factory reset. Going to a major release you really should start clean anyway.

Do a factory reset. You can do that in recovery if nothing else.
